It’s possible to be incredibly ambitious and disarming at the same time, and in that way, Howlin’ isn't that different in approach to Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories-- a backwards looking record about loving the present moment, a big-tent affair that can be misunderstood as a reactionary record. (It's no less reactionary than Noel Gallagher claiming Howlin' to be more important than an Oasis reunion.) From the moment “What Love” fades in with its loose-limbed, floppy rhythm, Howlin’ ensures everybody will be dancing, few will be doin' it right, but they'll all be feelin’ alright regardless.
